The World’s Largest Salt Flat, Where Heaven Meets Earth: Bolivia’s Salar de Uyuni
Bolivia’s blissfully beautiful salt flat sits at a lofty 11,995 feet and blankets an amazing area of 4,086 square miles. A prehistoric salt lake has turned into a traveler’s heaven by offering up the beauty that is South America’s most awe-inspiring landmark. I’m going to be honest here. Salar de Uyuni is a pain to get to, but it’s well worth the uncomfortable night’s sleep in exchange for these photos. I’d do it again and again to be able to spend a few minutes here in heaven.
Tip: During rainy season (January – April), a few inches of water lie on the ground, creating unbelievable reflection photos. Call it the world’s biggest mirror, call it heaven, call it beyond dreamy. Whatever it is, it’s pure magic.
Your photos are stunning. Seriously. The one of you walking toward the camera in the black yoga pants, that is one of my favorite travel photos of all time. I also really loved the mountain reflecting in the flats below with the purplish/pink sky. Magical.
Mind if I ask what camera and settings you used for the aforementioned photo?
Feeling so inspired!

Beautiful!!! Going on the travel list
Happy to hear it! You’ll love it 🙂
I’m looking to book a trip to Bolivia… like today (for the end of July) – it’s so freakin expensive… what airport did you fly into? I’m wondering if there’s a secret airline i don’t know about?
I flew into La Paz through Santa Cruz. You’re right, getting to Bolivia can be expensive. I had to keep an eye on prices for a long time before committing! Good luck!
Beautiful pictures…What website did you use to book your flight?
its really stunning photos …..
